Business continuity of business models : Evaluating the resilience of business models for contingencies
2019
Company business models are vulnerable to various contingencies in the business environment that may unexpectedly render their business logic ineffective. In particular, technological advancements, such as the Internet of things, big data, sharing economy and crowdsourcing, have enabled new forms of business models that can effectively and abruptly make traditional business models obsolete. By disrupting or even diminishing companies’ revenue streams, environmental contingencies may present a significant threat to business continuity (BC). Evaluating the resilience of business models against these contingencies should therefore be a core area of BC. However, existing BC approaches tend to f…
Carsharing business models in Germany: characteristics, success and future prospects
2017
Carsharing provides an alternative to private car ownership by allowing car use temporarily on an on-demand basis. Operators provide carsharing services using different business models and ownership structures. We distinguish between cooperative, business-to-consumer (B2C) roundtrip and one-way, as well as peer-topeer (P2P) carsharing. This paper characterizes these different types of business models and compares their success in terms of diffusion using a comprehensive database of all 101 German carsharing providers in 2016. The key result holds that fleet size is significantly different across business models ranging from a few cars (cooperatives in small towns), to a few hundred (B2C rou…
Consolidated challenge to social demand for resilient platforms : Lessons from Uber's global expansion
2017
Many in the industry see the ride-sharing company Uber as the significant advancement through information and communication technology (ICT) particularly of the digital service platform and sharing economy. Uber has been exploring the new frontier of the ICT-driven disruptive business model (IDBM) and succeeded in its global expansion to over 479 cities in more than 75 countries worldwide in June of 2016. Such rapid expansion provides constructive insights regarding the significance of IDBM, not only in transportation but also in almost all other business fields. While at the same time Uber's legal battles in some cities around the world raise a serious question regarding the rationale of I…
Auton yhteiskäytön ja omistamisen hyödyt jakamistaloudessa
2017
Kuluttajien tavoille ja tottumuksille saada tuotteita käyttöönsä on tullut useita vaihtoehtoja perinteisen tuotteiden omistamisen rinnalle, kun jakamistalous periaatteineen on alkanut levittäytyä useille eri liiketoiminnan alueille majoituksesta liikkumiseen. Omistamisen sijaan kuluttajat voivat halutessaan käyttää jakamiseen, vuokraamiseen ja yhteiskäyttöön pohjautuvia palveluita, joiden kautta on mahdollista saada tuote väliaikaisesti kuluttajan omaan käyttöön ilman sen omistamista. Usein omistaminen on yhä selkeästi suositumpi vaihtoehto enemmistölle kuluttajista, mutta jakamistalouteen perustuvien palveluiden käytön suosio on kasvamaan päin. Tämän tutkimuksen tavoitteena on selvittää mi…
Enacting Community Economies Within a Welfare State
2020
The Nordic welfare states, despite their history of successful welfare generation, have recently experienced a penetration of capitalist market relations to ever new spheres of life. Also their failure to create ecologically sustainable welfare models has been undeniable. Simultaneously, community economies have emerged as a source of ideas and practices on what ‘the economy’ fundamentally could signify. In their multiple manifestations, community economies are about enacting the economy differently, on a grassroots level. Yet community economies have typically not been analysed as inspirations and challenges to the future of the welfare state. This is despite that, to some extent, they sha…
Jakamistalouden palveluiden luokittelu ja liiketoimintamallit
2017
Jakamistalouden palveluiden suosio on noussut huimaa vauhtia jo usean vuoden ajan ympäri maailmaa yhdessä yhteiskuluttajuuden muiden muotojen kanssa. Yhteiskuluttajuus vähentää resurssien kulutuksesta ympäristölle syntyvää kuormaa ja se on viime vuosien kehityksen ansiosta kyennyt kilpailemaan perinteisten, vaihdantaa käyttävien palveluiden kanssa myös hinnan ja käytännöllisyyden tasolla. Kysynnän lisääntyminen on tuonut markkinoille myös palveluita, jotka lupaavat samaa arvoasetelmaa kuin jakamiseen pohjautuvat palvelut, vaikka todellisuudessa niiden ympäristöä säästävä vaikutus saattaa jäädä pieneksi. Tästä syystä jakamistalouden palveluiden luokittelu ja tunnistaminen ovat entistä tärkeä…
Digital innovation & enterprise in the sharing economy : an action research agenda
2020
In this digital era, Digital Innovation & Enterprise have emerged as a possible prescription in the sharing economy. Scholars have noted that digital innovation is transforming the technological landscape, entrepreneurial practices, and the behaviours, attitudes, and beliefs of consumers across the globe. This research note serves three purposes. First, it introduces digital innovation and enterprise as a fruitful area of research in the sharing economy. Second, it extends the agenda set by Yoo, Henfridsson, and Lyytinen (2010) on “new organising logics of Digital Innovation” to propose contemporary research questions for scholarly collaboration. Third, it attempts to move forward research …
Citizen Engagement and Entrepreneurship: Implications for Sustainable Tourism Development
2018
Research has not investigated the use of competitions-hackathons as a citizen engagement tool to motivate and activate citizen's engagement in entrepreneurship driving sustainable tourism development. This paper fills in this gap by using the SHARE Challenge as a case study. SHARE is a competition-based crowdsourcing project launched by the Government of South Australia aiming to engage citizens in sharing economy entrepreneurial ventures. The competition received 88 eligible ideas from different stakeholders, and the study conducted a content analyses of these ideas for investigating the profile of the citizens and the type of the sharing economy ideas that were inspired by the SHARE. Tour…
